Hello Saikat,

Yes, you can! If you're determined enought to pursue your dream. Then you have to start by taking the entrance examination.
Neet is the chief examination which encompasses majority of medical colleges in the nation


Some institute have their individual examinations, like AIIMS JIPMER etc.

Have a look at the article below it enlists the various examinations you are eligible to.

Goodluck!

Hope this helps.

Yes but you will still have to clear the NEET UG examinations. If you feel that being a pharmacist is not something you want to do and still feel like becoming a doctor. Then by all means if you are willing to work hard for your dreams go ahead. 

The eligibility criteria no longer has the 25 year old age limit which was earlier present. You need to have passed class 12 boards.

Hii Saikat, It is indeed possible for u to appear for NEET UG exams.Earlier there was an age limit for appearing for this exam.But from this year onwards,the age limit has been taken off.So if u have passed ur plus 2 with min 50 percent aggregate, then u can write NEET UG exam and can fulfill ur dream of becoming a doctor....all the bst!!

Hii,
There is no chance of doing MBBS on the basis of phD in pharmacy.
Yes, you can take admission in MBBS after getting into Medical entrance examinations, on the basis of 12th class .
